The #Raiders last FA signing was on March 18th, that said…. I do understand why they haven’t signed players since but don’t agree with it Depth is the biggest emphasis at this point, along with at least one starter on the OL at RG/RT. They have relatively well built depth at most positions, though additional bodies doesn’t hurt. Telesco seems to be leaving 20 roster spots open for the draft Currently have 64 rostered players + 20 draft leaves 6 free agents remaining, my guess is a CB, some right side OL, and WR are the emphasis then additional depth
They’re no doubt going to add starters into the two positions of need (CB, RG, RT) but outside of WR, OL and CB no where else is lacking depth at any extent. Youre going to add more bodies to those positions in less than a month, along with the fact being plenty of players wait till after the draft to sign
@KuhnTristen still some good players out there. Raiders are making an emphasis of the 2022 and 2023 classes to really take over with the 2024 class coming in
@KuhnTristen Still need to address: QB, CB, RT, RG. Draft a RB in the late rounds of the draft. Probably draft another LB and Safety.
Another note, they are projected 3 compensatory picks and the formula ends within the next 2 weeks
@KuhnTristen Tom Telesco is very cheap (which can be good at times) and he has almost no history of trading up as well. I’m sure he’s waiting for player prices to go down too
@KuhnTristen I agree I think the depth this year is much worse we let some of our great depth corners walk and haven’t done anything to replace them same with our offensive linemen. This is why the chargers sucked no depth. Im not a fan of Tom so far and how he’s managed things.
@KuhnTristen Also probably waiting until after the draft to address the rest of the OL in case they do draft Penix then they have to find a stud RT to protect Penix’s blindside. A lot changes when you bring in a potential starting LH QB.
@KuhnTristen They want those compensatory picks next year! They will add free agents after the comp pick deadline
